Fire up bright sparks, Mayor’s Telstra Technology Awards are back!

An app to help school students monitor and manage stress took the top prize in this year’s Mayor’s Telstra Technology Awards. What will it take to win next year?

The challenge is now out to every Sunshine Coast student in Grades 10 to 12, with the second annual competition ready to roll from the start of the school year through to March 27, 2017.

Mayor Mark Jamieson said teams from all schools across the Sunshine Coast Council Local Government area were eligible to participate and thanks to Telstra, there’s $20,000 worth of prizes up for grabs.

“So the message today to all students across the Sunshine Coast who are going into Grade 10 and above next year is get your thinking caps on over the school holiday break, sort out your teams and come back in 2017 ready to bring your great ideas to life,” Mayor Jamieson said.
